I’m sorry about this situation, SMS Backup+ will no longer have access to Gmail, mainly because it’s not an email reading app. Jan Berkel replied to concerns from his users, It read as follows, “if these apps are unable to meet the deadline to comply with our updated data policy requirements, they’ll lose access to your Account starting July 15th, 2019.” Apparently, Google is not entertaining appeal for exemption and this means only one thing, the affected apps will have to shut down Gmail related features. Google sent out a message to the users of the affected app. Sadly, the above-mentioned cases fall outside are not defined by Google’s new ‘Permitted Application Types.’ Swiftkey uses your writing on Gmail to suggest extensive keyboard customization. For instance, most of us use SMS Backup+ to backup our call logs, contacts and stores them as a thread on Gmail. The new categories created by Google were restrictive in nature and inadvertently sidetracked valid use cases. Taking this behavior into considerations, Google decided that “only apps directly enhancing email functionality-such as email clients, email backup services and productivity services (e.g., CRM and mail merge services)-will be authorized to access this data.” As part of the project, Google realized that users game explicit permissions to the app based on certain use cases. Google has enforced certain changes as part of Project Strobe. The list includes popular Android apps like SMS Backup+, Nine, Kiwi for Gmail and Swiftkey. A recent change for SMS and Phone permissions has apparently forbidden apps from offering Gmail related functionalities. Once the new restrictions are imposed, app makers are expected to make changes accordingly. Google has been tweaking its API policy to enforce better privacy.
